Ziggy continued to stuff his laptop into his bag without pausing. "Oh, Miss Jane told me to bring a computer to school. She said it's for the curriculum."
Rachel nodded. "Right, let's get to school then."
Under Ziggy's exceptional calculations, they took the bus successfully like the day before and arrived at the Minnow Nursery School without any issues.
Jane was already waiting in front of the school entrance. Rachel smiled as she placed Ziggy's tiny hand in Jane's.
"Using a laptop to teach is such a progressive concept which might help children to study. I'll leave Ziggy in your capable hands."
Jane stared at Rachel, dumbfounded. "Wha—"
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a tiny hand squeezed hers.
She looked at Ziggy, who flashed her a grin with an underlying intention.
Jane immediately understood and nodded at Rachel. "Yes, that's right. Ziggy's mommy, don't worry. I will take good care of him."
In response, Rachel nodded too before she bent down to Ziggy and planted a kiss on his forehead.
"Baby, be nice."
Ziggy nodded as a smile crept onto his face, flaunting his good mood. "Okay! Mommy, please do wait for me in front of your office after work."
Just as Rachel was about to speak up, Jane spoke, "Ziggy's mommy, Ms. Bennet. I need to talk to you about something. We can’t deny that Ziggy’s a genius-level child, but at his age, it would be too dangerous for him to wander the streets alone since there has been an abundance of criminals on the route he takes."
"Yesterday, for example, he insisted to leave on his own the moment the school bell rang. Our protocol is to wait for the parents to arrive before letting the child out. There has never been an incident where the child had left on their own to pick up their parents..."
Seeing Jane's seriousness, Rachel nodded in agreement. "Ms. Jane, I didn't notice yesterday, but please insist that Ziggy stays back today until I'm here to get him. Don't let him out before I arrive."
Jane quietened after hearing Rachel's words.
With a child as stubborn as Ziggy, Jane would not be able to stop him. Her initial idea was to let Rachel coax a promise out of Ziggy, but a mother as young as Rachel did not seem to have thought of it that way.
Jane sighed with resignation. "It's fine. After school, I will accompany Ziggy to your office. That way, it won't be as dangerous for him."
After Ziggy's insistence to walk the day before, she was so scared that she followed him the whole way to Rachel's office until Rachel came outside.
Rachel was a little surprised. "How can I trouble you like that, Ms. Jane? I'll come and pick Ziggy up."
With that, Ziggy turned around and looked at Jane. "Ms. Jane, thank you."
Jane was a little overwhelmed for being thanked by Ziggy.
It was her first time being thanked by a child after working in the Minnow Nursery School for as long as she has.
Jane smiled and looked at Ziggy. "You're welcome."
Seeing as Rachel was prepared to leave, Jane said to her while she held Ziggy's hand. "Ziggy's mommy, you raised a really polite child."
Most of them were about the leakage of the Bennet Group's corporate secrets and agreements. Ziggy's eyes flickered as he subsequently deleted the pinned thread on his AKK website, leaving no trace to point to him.
Within a short ten minutes, there were two billion clicks on the thread!
It was easy to see the influence the AKK site had on society as well as people's attention.
At the moment, the Bennets were in the spotlight and the target of many jealousy and envy because of their relationship with the Bluemels. Though now that the Bennets were in trouble, the people who whispered in the dark immediately turned into bystanders, watching the Bennets' response.
A certain iciness filled Ziggy's gaze as a corner of his lips curled up prettily. "Technically, the Bennets are my family and my elders, so I shouldn't do this. But who permitted you to bully my mommy? I am super protective about my family, no one can bully mommy on my watch!"
He then cleared all traces from his laptop before putting it back into his bag in no rush.
Ziggy looked at the clock on the wall and nodded slowly.
'Mm, it's only been half an hour, this is sooner than I thought.'
Ziggy looked around but could not find Jane, who was supposed to be waiting for him.
His brows furrowed as a bad feeling washed over him.
Quickly, he slung his bag on his back and charged out of the room.
Ziggy scanned the surrounding with his huge eyes. It was only after he picked up a noisy discourse that he whipped around to lock his attention onto the storeroom in the far end of the corridor.
